Throwback Thursdays come to Yesteryear Village in West Palm Beach

Wednesday

Party like it’s 1904 tomorrow evening when Yesteryear Village hosts its first Throwback Thursday.

Wait!

Were there were food trucks in 1914? Or electric guitars? Or in rural Palm Beach County, electricity?

No matter.

The 10-acre history park at the South Florida Fairgrounds plans a mashup of the way we were and a 21st century par-tee.

The village is opening its 20 or so historic buildings, staffed by volunteers in period costumes.

The blast from the past includes peaks into:

-The supposedly “haunted” Riddle House, a three-story pioneer house moved from downtown West Palm Beach.

-A pineapple packing house

- The so-called “Dillinger House.” The two-room house was built in the 1920s on sharecropper Perry Seller’s pig farm west of Lake Worth. Sellers was reportedly a friend of notorious gangster, John Dillinger, who stayed in the house in the 1930’s while hiding from the law and hunting alligators.

But even people who live in the past need to eat – and dance. Hence, a collection of food trucks and high-energy country music from South Florida’s Samantha Russell Band will also be on hand.
